The Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo Video – Setting the Record Straight THE HON. SARAH ADWOA SAFO VIDEO – SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT My attention has been drawn to a video which captures the Member of Parliament for Dome/Kwabenya, Deputy Majority Leader and Minister of State at the Presidency in charge of Public Procurement, the Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo claiming in the said video that the Community Senior High School constructed and commissioned in her constituency during the tenure of President John Dramani Mahama was as a result of her personal intervention with the World Bank, that the Senior High School was not from the then NDC Government and that with the exception of the Dome/Kwabenya Senior High School project, all the other schools constructed during the previous NDC administration were executed in NDC strongholds. As Deputy Minister who served at the Ministry of Education when these iconic President Mahama flagship schools were constructed, and considering the avalanche of calls from the media seeking clarification and a reaction from me to the video in issue, I wish to set the record straight as follows: Background President John Dramani Mahama promised during the 2012 electioneering campaign to construct some 200 Community Day Senior High Schools when elected. Under the dynamic and able leadership of Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the Minister for Education who President Mahama appointed to oversee the Education sector and actualize his vision, the Ministry of Education carried out the following activities for the new construction: 1) Prepared criteria for selecting Districts and towns to benefit from the project. 2) Prepared the Programmes to be offered in Schools at each of the selected Districts. 3) Determined the optimum size of land needed to run the various Programmes and secured all land through the various District Assemblies needed for the new schools including land for the Dome Kwabenya project. 4) Carried out Case Studies of existing Schools. 5) Determined the structures necessary to run the various Programmes. 6) Designed the various structures by taking into consideration the Employer’s Brief and ways of making the designs attractive but very cost effective. 7) Prepared a costing of the structures designed. 8) Decided on how to phase the project implementation. District selection criteria The following criteria were used to select Districts that would benefit from the programme: (a) All the 46 new districts that were established in 2012 except those that already have public Senior High Schools (b) All other districts that do not have public Senior High Schools. (c) Districts that have very high Junior High School enrolments than available schools can accommodate. It should be noted that when we settled on the criteria above, it was established that apparently, there were 23 Districts in Ghana without a Senior High School and this included Ga East Municipal which hosts the Dome/Kwabenya constituency. Clearly, an objective and fair criteria was pursued by the NDC Government in selecting beneficiary Districts. President Mahama was President for all of Ghana including the Dome/Kwabenya constituency and NOT just NDC strongholds. Designs Designs for the following structures inter alia were prepared: • Security and Gate House • 4-storey 24-unit Classroom Block (E-Block) • Technical/Vocational Block • Canteen Block • 3-Bedroom School Head’s Bungalow with 2-bedroom Outhouse • 4-storey Block of 8 No. 2-Bedroom Staff Flats Owing to funding constraints, Government decided to start the project by constructing an E- Block in each beneficiary District except the 23 World Bank funded projects which came with the full complement after successful negotiations led by Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang . The other structures would be added on as future phases of the project. Each school was expected to cater for 1,080 students when it is fully operational with a contract completion period of 18 months from the contract start date. The E-Block is a 4-level E-shaped structure with three fingers measuring 30.15m x10.75m; 32.55m x 9.80m; 32.55m x 9.80m and a stem measuring 54.00m x 8.65m on plan. The overall height of the structure is 16.55m. The E-Block has space for 24 Classrooms; 4 Laboratories (Integrated Science; Physics; Chemistry; Biology); 2 Libraries; 8 Offices for Departmental Heads; ICT Laboratories software/hardware and Internet Learning area. World Bank Support President John Dramani Mahama approached the World Bank to support his vision for Secondary Education in Ghana. This proposal received favourable response with Minister of Education, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang leading a delegation that comprised Hon. Alex Kyeremeh (Deputy Minister, Pre-Tertiary), Enoch Cobbinah (Chief Director) and other technical staff of the Ministry to the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, D.C., United States of America to negotiate a $156 million facility for what became known as the Ghana Secondary Education Improvement Project (SEIP) The Secondary Education Improvement Project was approved by the World Bank Board on May 20, 2014 for an amount of US$156 million (IDA), signed on July 30, 2014, declared effective on October 3, 2014, and launched on November 4, 2014 by President John Dramani Mahama. The project was restructured on August 30, 2016 to ensure reallocation among disbursement categories and revise the percentage of expenditures to be financed for all categories up to 100% financing. This was to allow more flexibility in project implementation and to ensure that activities are not held back given the results-based nature of the project. The Project Development Objective is to increase access to senior secondary education in underserved districts and improve quality in low-performing senior high schools (SHSs) in Ghana. This is a five-year IPF closing on November 30, 2019. It uses a results based financing approach under the first component which aims to increase access with equity and quality in SHSs. Component One comprises Pillar 1 and 2 as follows: The first results area (Pillar 1) aims to expand senior secondary places through the construction of 23 new SHS in underserved districts including Dome Kwabenya; rehabilitate and expand 50 existing low performing SHSs and support attainment of disadvantaged students (e.g., through scholarships to 10,400 students from low income families, especially girls). The second results area (Pillar 2) focuses on improving the quality of education in 125 selected low-performing SHS through: (i) strengthened school management and accountability; (ii) improved mathematics and science teaching and learning; (iii) expanded information, communication technology and internet connectivity in schools; and (iv) the implementation of school performance partnership plans. Component Two uses a traditional investment approach to finance technical assistance, management, research and monitoring and evaluation for effective project implementation. I shall now provide below, a tabular guide of project locations under the various phases including the World Bank funded projects which do not and cannot support the assertion by the Hon. Sarah Adwoa Safo that the Community Senior High Schools were constructed in only NDC strong holds. A.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

  • Hidden Forestry Revealed Ghana
    The forest sector in Ghana is the fourth largest foreign exchange earner for the country. This contribution however comes mainly from the formal forest sub-sector consisting of regulated industries in timber and timber products. The informal sub-sector, characterised by small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) broadly Hidden forestry covering wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services, has been largely left out in forest planning and management even though it represents the main, additional or alternative income source for about 3 million people in Hidden forestry revealed Ghana. In terms of their contribution to livelihoods and resource sustainability, SMFEs may even outweigh the formal forest sub-sector. revealed The neglect of the SMFE sub-sector results in revenue loss to the state through non-registration and non-payment of permit fees and taxes, illegal and unstable operations of some enterprises, and sub-optimal contribution to people’s livelihoods and poverty reduction. But opportunities and support exist both at the national and international level and offer good prospects for the promotion of SMFEs. Efforts must be made to utilise the opportunities offered by these initiatives and deal with the challenges they present. This report reviews the status of SMFEs in Ghana. It provides information on the various issues confronting the sub-sector and identifies mechanisms for harnessing the potential of SMFEs to effectively contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable forest management in Ghana.

COBINNAH IN ERUM QUE Aborit fugit quiChief Director FOREWORD Promoting access, equity and quality education in Ghana This book is to give the Ministry of Education the opportunity to share with the general public our efforts towards improving Education service delivery in the country. It is also expected to afford us the opportunity to receive feedback on issues the public care most about. The Ministry wishes to refer to the near four year mandate of government from 2013 to 2016, while for the purposes of comparison and clarity of context, go beyond 2013 at appropriate times. Over the past four years, the Ministry and its twenty agencies working with all our stakeholders have formulated and implemented policies and programmes that have led to steady and significant progress in the provision of quality, equitable and accessible education, and strengthened the management of education service delivery. While we continue to work towards the elimination of outstanding challenges in the education system, we can conclude that we have done well as a country and that the state of education in this country is stronger than before. This publication dwells largely on our achievements from 2013-2016 in the following areas: Education Management and Administration, Basic Education, Secondary Education Non-Formal Education, Technical, Vocational Education and Training, Inclusive and Special Education and Tertiary Education.

  • Kwahu West Municipal Assembly Medium Term Development Plan
    i KWAHU WEST MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY MEDIUM TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2014-2017 JUNE 2014 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As a way of fulfilling the constitutional mandate, all Metropolitan, Municipals and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana are required to prepare periodic Medium-Term Development Plans for the development of their areas. Therefore, this Medium Development Plan (MTDP) for the 2014-2017 Plan Period represents the development imperative of the Kwahu West Municipal for the next four years. The MTDP was prepared in accordance with the National Medium Term Development Planning Framework (NMTDPF) provided by the National Development Planning Commission. The MTDP preparation process involved wide consultation with all stakeholders, departments, organisations and institutions. In addition, field surveys were also made targeting at capturing the views, opinions, challenges and aspirations of households, business operators, the vulnerable and the excluded. These efforts were useful in obtaining the real development challenges, needs and aspirations of the people, some that include low productivity in the agricultural sector, high levels of poverty, poor road infrastructure, inadequate supply of potable water, poor access to sanitation, low IGF and so on. As a planning response to the development challenges identified from the field, about 53 programmes are initiated in these MTDP aimed at achieving the Municipal’s development goal of promoting accelerated economic growth and development. The estimated cost of the programmes is about GHȻ6,778,110. About 21 percent of this figure will be financed from Internally Generated Funds and the rest will come from District Assembly Common Fund, Government of Ghana among others. In the wake of government fiscal difficulties, the Assembly is also looking for more innovative ways of funding its development programmes on a sustainable basis.
